Any military activity in the Morcosoer region goes into here.
Mhor Constantine is personally leading the effort to kill/chase away (preferably kill) as many goblins as can be found. He's helped by forces from Baron Haensen, the Aegis and Archduke Osoer.

During the last council of Captains, Constantine set 3 goals that should be achieved before winter sets in the land.
Cleanse as many goblins as humanly possible in Dwarf's Hold and Elfsdemise. This task is divided in 3 parts:
- Reinforced patrols roam the two provinces seeking any goblin signs and destroying them on sight; if low numbers or calling reinforcements if greater.
- Forage goblin resources so that if they do not die from human hand they would starve to death.
- Raze any goblin structures, particularly temples to their foul gods.
Prepare the troops to spend the winter in Morcosoer:
- Ser Waymar is asked to find the best locations to set up temporary camps for the winter. The locations should have access to running water (although with the quantities of snow expected water would probably be the least of our problems), they must be defensible and a supply line from Shattered Hills feasible.
- Supplies to be gathered include: wheat, rye, oats and barley for breads and beer production; beans and peas for soups; apples and berries for fruits; asparagus, beets, carrots, celery, cabbage and radishes for vegetables. Also, poultry including chickens, ducks and geese; cows, pigs and sheep for meat. Hay and grass for horses and beats of burden.
- In addition, every effort is put into using all available resources; for example animal skin and wool is to be used to create warmer winter clothes.
The third goal is to continue searching for the treacherous Marquis. Having killed Mhor Droene, Constantine is determined to bring him to justice. If any lead appears, Constantine will assemble a team of his elite troops and personally investigate.
At this point Constantine has the below units in Morcosoer:
Elf's Demise:
The Fellhanded Elite
Dhalsiel's Fourth
Dhalsiel Dragoons
Winoene's First
Dwarf's Hold:
Dhalsiel's Third
Shieldhaven Outriders
Dhalsiel's Second
Actions taken from the units are: occupy, raze and forage.
Baron Haensen's Forces:
BH1 Regulars - Elf's Demise
BH2 Archers - Dwarf's Hold
BH3 Lancers 2 - The lancers are returned to Baron Haensen who is tasked to keep an eye for Goblin refuges trying to escape Elinie into Balteruine, Brushfire or Periltrees. The Brightspurs (camped in Periltrees) are ordered to support the Baron's efforts.
The 2 Dragoon units from HA (Highlanders Dragoons and Moerlar Rangers Dragoons are to be used as a flexible reinforcement unit patrolling the land and reinforcing troops whenever needed. Captain Balter is given authority to add independently to the other troops according to his best judgement. In the end of autumn they will move to Shattered Hills to join HA's foot troops.
The HA foot soldiers are to secure Shattered Hills so that no surprises arise from the flank/rear.
Finally, a dispatch is sent to the High Marshal requesting an update on Elinie.
